The Long Knives Are Crying

A Lakota Western

De: Joseph M. Marshall III

Narrado por: Joseph M. Marshall III

The second novel in Joseph M. Marshall III's acclaimed Lakota Western series begins in 1875, as Sitting Bull gathers thousands of Lakota to face the growing problem of white incursion. What follows is a sweeping tale of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, including the days and weeks leading up to the conflict and the remarkable defeat of General George Armstrong Custer and the Seventh Cavalry.

Told for the first time from the Native perspective through the eyes of Lakota warrior Cloud, the story also weaves in the lesser-known but strategically important Battle of the Rosebud and the uncertain future that faced the Lakota following victory. Once again, Marshall infuses the story with his unique voice and eye for detail, creating a page-turning Western with a style of its own.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[Marshall] brings the story of the Battle of Little Bighorn alive through the eyes and hearts of the American Indians." ( Denver Post)
"I found myself brought into the Lakota world; Marshall does a superb job of showing how difficult things were becoming for the Lakota as their land was overtaken and the buffalo herds disappeared." ( Historical Novels Review)

True history we don’t cancel or forget, and never should we

At 70 years old, I can look back at a time when people acted normal for the morals in the culture of the day. Those who were guided by a Judeo Christian or other written or oral tradition of behavior towards other humans never wavered in their true treatment of another human . Many in the Judeo-Christian group were phonies and hypocrites, but those true believers knew what was right in the eyes of God .
All we see today is a people wanting reparations, cancellation for a minority, but we never hear how the suffering of the indigenous like we do for those that suffered in slavery. However. Unlike black slavery, there is little we hear or do today with the inHumane Way the United States government treated the indigenous people however, no credit is given to the hundreds of thousands of men killed and wounded in the U.S. Civil War FOR Whatever the initial reason the results were a continuing wave for blacks to better themselves and have their lives improved; some have but many have not ! The US GOVERNMENT still cradles them with the governments, money and handouts just like the Lakota were forced to do. It SICKENS me to see one race, creating so much damage, death destruction, disruption, hatred Fomenting more that it never ends if anyone has a complaint with how they were treated it’s the indigenous people .The casinos do nothing, for they never had interest in gold from the black mountains. Neither does money bring back their way of life, the buffalo, family and tribe life and customs. they have remained a lost Minority with the most minimal of coverage and attention and it sickens me to see 13% receive so much in a never ending parade of ugliness that I feel the Lakota and indigenous people would not be capable of displaying even after all the wrongs done to them. I thank Joseph Marshall III For his painstaking clarity and details an undertaking of momentous work.

Best Book on the truth.

This outlines the truth about the lies the US Army used to get public backing and told from both sides and they match. this hands down the best
